Q13(iii):
Fill in the blanks in following table: (iii) $P(A) = 0.5, P(B) = 0.35, P(A \cap B) = ..., P(A \cup B) = 0.7$
Solution :
Step 1: Theoretical Foundation
To determine the probability of the intersection of two events $A$ and $B$, we utilize the Addition Theorem of Probability. This theorem states the relationship between the probability of the union of two events, their individual probabilities, and the probability of their intersection.
The formula is expressed as:
$P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)$
[Per the Axioms of Probability theory regarding the union of non-mutually exclusive events]
Step 2: Substitution of Given Variables
We are provided with the following values:
- $P(A) = 0.5$
- $P(B) = 0.35$
- $P(A \cup B) = 0.7$
Substituting these values into the Addition Theorem equation:
$0.7 = 0.5 + 0.35 - P(A \cap B)$
Step 3: Algebraic Manipulation
To isolate $P(A \cap B)$, we perform the following operations:
- Sum the individual probabilities: $0.5 + 0.35 = 0.85$
- Rewrite the equation: $0.7 = 0.85 - P(A \cap B)$
- Transpose $P(A \cap B)$ to the left side and $0.7$ to the right side:
- $P(A \cap B) = 0.85 - 0.7$
- Perform subtraction: $P(A \cap B) = 0.15$

Verification Table
| Event | Probability |
|---|---|
| $P(A)$ | $0.5$ |
| $P(B)$ | $0.35$ |
| $P(A \cap B)$ | $0.15$ |
| $P(A \cup B)$ | $0.7$ |
Final Solution: $P(A \cap B) = 0.15$

Mathematics is a very interesting subject, and I have found that when I am teaching the class, the students are very excited because they are learning something that is very relevant to their daily life. As students are in 11th & 12th, they are not like normal kids; they need some freedom, they want to find friends rather than a teacher, and they just want to be able to question the teacher rather than just follow what they are saying.
